Discover the Magic of Bioluminescent Dinoflagellates

Dive into the world of marine wonders with our bioluminescent dinoflagellates, a type of living marine plankton that illuminates with a captivating glow. Each pouch you receive is filled with 250mL of Pyrocystis fusiformis dinoflagellates, renowned for their bright and beautiful bioluminescence.

Longevity and Care: These dinoflagellates are packaged to ensure their vitality. With proper care, they can thrive for up to one month in the pouch. This includes maintaining them in appropriate light conditions and at a suitable temperature.

Bring Bioluminescence Home: Add these mesmerizing organisms to your Mushlume UFO or other suitable environments to experience the natural wonder of bioluminescent glow in your own space.


Lighting Requirements:

  • Balanced Light Cycle: It's crucial to maintain a consistent cycle of approximately 12 hours of light followed by 12 hours of darkness each day for optimal health of the dinoflagellates.
  • Ideal Light Conditions: Keep the dinoflagellate pouch in partial sunlight or under artificial room light that mimics natural light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight as it can be too intense.

Temperature Guidelines:

  • Optimal Range: The ideal temperature for sustaining your dinoflagellates is around 68°F (20°C), but they can thrive in a range between 63°F to 77°F (17°C to 25°C).
  • Avoid Sudden Changes: Ensure a stable temperature environment. Sudden temperature shifts can be stressful and potentially harmful to the dinoflagellates.

By following these care instructions, you'll help ensure the longevity and vibrancy of your bioluminescent dinoflagellates, ready to be transferred into your Mushlume UFO for a dazzling display.
